Geoff Merrill Jacko’s Shiraz 2017 (6 Bottle) McLaren Vale, SA

Geoff Merrill Jacko’s Shiraz 2017 from McLaren Vale is a rich and full-throttle expression named in tribute to Michael “Jacko” James, a valued team member. This older-school style Shiraz opens with inviting aromas of dark berries, blackstrap licorice, mocha, and rum-and-raisin notes, combined with subtle hints of fresh herbs, gamey spices, and black pepper. The wine spent 28 months maturing in a blend of new and older French and American oak, enhancing its plush and generous texture.
